About Me

I am an aspiring engineer and technologist with interests that span across electronics, software development, cyber security, cloud computing, AI/ML, computer systems and hardware-software integration. My journey began in Ghana where curiosity and problem-solving shaped me early. In 2022 I moved to the UK during my final year at Adisadel College where I served as an aspiring Dispensary Prefect and Vice President of APOSA. That transition strengthened resilience, adaptability and responsibility which drive how I work and learn today.

I am sight-impaired due to retinoblastoma in childhood (age 2) which resulted in blindness in my right eye. Instead of limiting me it sharpened my discipline, consistency and determination to succeed academically and personally. I now study Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Aston University building experience in both hardware and software.


What I Am Looking For

I am seeking internships, placements and work experience across engineering and tech (both HW/SW).

My long term goal is to build a career where intelligent software and efficient hardware solve real problems at scale.

If you value someone who learns fast, thinks deeply, adapts quickly and contributes well both independently and in a team, I would be happy to connect, collaborate and one day join your team. Feel free to reach out anytime.


Technical Development

My technical development includes C, C++, Python and Java with knowledge of microcontrollers, embedded systems, IoT fundamentals, PCB design, MATLAB, debugging and algorithmic thinking.

I am also expanding knowledge and skills in HTML, CSS, cloud computing, basic AI systems, cyber security and game development engines. I enjoy understanding how systems function internally and building projects that move from concept to code to real output.

One example is my 4Γ—4Γ—4 NeoPixel LED Cube which blends C++ logic, power budgeting and prototyping.

πŸ“˜ Learning Journey

This tech stack represents my ongoing learning journey in engineering and technology. I am developing these skills through:

  • University learning – Structured learning across computer science, electrical/electronic engineering and robotics
  • Personal projects and hackathons – practical hardware and software development, rapid problem solving, creative experimentation and competitive environments
  • Online courses and labs – self paced learning in different fields of engineering and technology
  • Research and exploration – studying emerging technologies and real world engineering practices

NB: I am not an expert in all these technologies yet. This is a living document that reflects what I am actively using and what I am learning. Some tools are part of my daily workflow, others are at beginner level. The process of continuous learning is what drives my interest in technology and innovation.


Projects
